Anyone have experience with whetstone for sharpening your kitchen knives?
From experience, using those knife sharpener isn't the best way and been using the sharpening steel since but I think there's only much I can do with the steel.
Have looked around for cost effective way and found these:

https://www.kogan.com/nz/buy/the-shopsite-whetstone-sharpeni…
Probably can get similar one to Kogan from Temu/Ali, so leaning towards bunnings one.
Otherwise anyone can chime in for what they would do instead?
It depends on how much you're willing to spend. I got the Shapton professional/kuromaku 1000, which at the time was regarded as the best "entry level" Whetstone, it cost me $84 in 2021 and looks like it goes for $110 locally now or $73 on amazon (can't tell if it's NZD or AUD) https://amzn.asia/d/aH6r2VJ
It's obviously a bit more than your options, but guaranteed quality and lasts a long time. If you're going to be using it a lot you'll eventually need a flattening stone for which I spent even more on the atoma diamond plate, but you can leave that until further down the line.
